I saw the trailer and thought it looked good, a bank fraud is a great subject given the times. Laurence Fox and Toby Stephens are both from acting dynasties but I can't believe they read the script of this three hour long turkey. It went from bad to worse so consistently that I gave up in despair before the end of the second episode. It was just absolute rubbish, how a TV company can finance something so awful says it all. ITV shares are at an all time low and so are some of the awful rubbish they are turning out as drama. The actress who played the leading role was possibly the worst I have seen in a long time, but the script was so far fetched I doubt Meryl Streep would have looked much better.

If you are going to be taken seriously when writing a review you really need to watch all of it, not give up before it is finished and give it a very low score. Doing that just means you personally didn't like it. Whilst this may not be the greatest it moves along briskly, it isn't bogged down with meaningless soul searching. The acting is convincing and the production values are pretty good.

Excellent crime drama starring many familiar faces including Jason Watkins, Toby Stephens and Jodie Whittaker as the lead. Louise is a hard up single mum working in a bank who has the opportunity to earn some exrtra money by simply opening a bogus account for Phillip Manningham, played by Laurence Fox, who represents a ruthless crime syndicate. Louise accidentally meets Toby Stephens in the club Fox runs, not knowing he is a Police Officer investigating the dodgy characters at said club. After an intimate evening with Stephens she discovers he is a cop and what follows is a fast moving series of events leading up to the theft of £250m from a prominent businessman played by Gary Lewis. A lot happens in this three part series, without any padding or waffle. Recommended.

With such a stellar cast, it sounded really promising. The plot was messy, the script really amateurish and the ending as unclear as most of the storyline.

There was too much gratuitous and unnecessary violence and there were no subtle or clever parts in any of the three episodes.

It was as though the writer's main plan was to confuse the viewers further and further and then he or she either didn't bother to untangle the mess or because they had got everything in such a horrendous muddle they weren't actually able to!!! The actors did the best they could but one can't make the proverbial purse out of a sow's ear!!! Nothing was explained and so many things seemed absolutely senseless or irrelevant. Please bring this great cast back but with a MUCH better series, to make it worth their time and to ensure you actually do impress your viewers and critics and have a series that ITV can be proud of! A TV series that will go down in history as a major success!

Corruption in the world of high Finance. When a big deal is on the table, all and sundry are in for the kill.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, I must have watched it when it first went out, and liked it, but having just rewatched it, I absolutely loved it. Three episodes flew by, you think something is happening, there is a lot of misdirection.

It's loaded with twists and turns, it's one of those dramas where you really don't know who's who, and exactly who's up to what, you will be left guessing until the final scenes.

The acting is excellent, Toby Stephens, Riz Ahmed, Sacha Dhawan and Laurence Fox, however the true star of the show is Jodie Whittaker, who really shows how good she is.

Slick, stylish and exciting. 9/10.
